Chronic Pain Appointment

Service Description

Chronic pain is any pain lasting longer than three months that may be continuous or on and off. It is a pain that extends longer than the usual recovery period that occurs with healing and is not suspicious for something more sinister. It is also associated with chronic health conditions such as arthritis. It can be very disabling and people often describe it as having a mind of its own. People living with chronic pain may have seen many health professionals during their path to recovery and this adds another layer to the very complex conundrum that is chronic pain.

The path is long and has many bends but the best time to start the trail is right now. The appointment is 90 mins to allow for an in depth and detailed chat around the history of your pain, we can't rush this process. Feeling relaxed and comfortable when telling me your story is very important. We will then do a detailed assessment of your movement. From there we will focus on goal setting and figuring out what the future should look like for you. Sessions after that should be no longer than an hour and will be priced accordingly.
